A thin circular rod is supported by a hinge at A Attached to point A is a spring of spring constant k and natural length equal to arc length AB A bead of mass m not attached to the spring can slide without friction along the rod The bead is released at rest making an angle 0 with the vertical A For the bead to complete the vertical circle k 2mg Re2 D k B B For all the values of k normal will remain radially inwards for the complete motion C Tangential acceleration of block is maximum at point B mg 2D D Normal force on the bead at point B just after loosing contact with spring is N 19 9 and 0 60 1 cos 0 mg for
